Golden & Gregrocker, big thank you to both of you. I downloaded and ran the CCleaner. It detected and cleaned all in the junks in the Temp folder (including the etilqs files), and guess what, I now have 315GB free space. I guess the only solution to my problem is to run CCleaner every week religiously.
Thanks again. Greatly appreciated.

I recommend running CCLeaner monthly, then if it doesn't find much you can run it less often, but if it finds over 1gb I would run it more often.

You can also organize your HD perfectly using Puran Defrag Free Edition which has a boot time defrag with Disk Check that is excellent. Check the box for Intelligent Optimizer on Additional Operations tab.

Just a quick update.... 2 days ago, I used CCleaner and I got 315GB free space back. As of now, I have only 295GB. I have not downloaded any movies, huge files, or did anything out of the ordinary. I reinstalled Firefox though but that was this morning. Looking at the windows/Temp folder and I see a whopping 19GB increase, coming from 2 etilqs files. This is getting really ridiculous and annoying....
I guess CCleaner is my best buddy from now on.....

I had a somewhat different problem with Firefox not too long ago and fixed it by uninstall/reinstall and then creating a new user profile. IE9 is a good browser, but if you're like me and prefer things you've become used to then this might be worth a shot.

I also switched to the Pale Moon version of Firefox and have been quite happy with it. :)

General Discussion

low disk space on f driveI keep getting a window popping up that says low disk space on f drive. I have cleaned the disk but it doesn't go away. I also thought the f drive was a plug in drive for my camera and such so I don"t understand why it would keep popping up when nothing is connected to that drive. I tried to move...
